Easy chair KATA 3D Knit Linen/ natural oak ARPER

Light in both form and environmental footprint, the Kata armchair has been designed with sustainability at its heart. The first solid wood armchair to be published by Arper, Kata draws its inspiration from hand-woven artisanal wooden and straw chairs to imagine a new universal typology that incorporates current ecological sustainability solutions and whose features are both graphic and warm. Kata finds its balance in juxtaposition - a tenuous nuance between material and silhouette, softness and solidity, tradition and technology. An FSC-certified oak structure houses a custom-made 3D woven textile covering. This coating is made from recycled polyester derived from post-consumer plastics, which are transformed into light, strong fibres. The 3D weaving technology used is calibrated to delicately follow the structure of the chair, avoiding the residue and waste of material usually found in industrial manufacturing. The Kata armchair can be completely dismantled and recycled.
